Wee Hughie

Wee Hughie is a comic book character that first appeared in The Boys #1




Wee Hughie was recruited into the Boys when his girlfriend was killed in a superhero battle.

Hugh Campbell is first introduced at the carnival with his girlfriend. After admitting their love for each other, she is accidentally killed during a super-hero brawl between A-Train and another evil doer. Hughie, holding his dead girlfriend's arms, goes into emotional shock because of the entire experience ( The Boys #1)

Butcher, leader of the Boys, puts his old team back together and tries to recruit Hughie for the team and explains to him the necessity to keep "superheroes" in check. ( #2)

Butcher flies the team out to New York to have them gather information on the Sexually deviant teenage group the Teenage Kix. ( #4)

After being injected with Compound V, a formula which grants super-human abilities, Hughie and the boys fight Teenage Kix after someone tipped off the Teenage Kix on who was blackmailing them. During the fight, Hughie kills the Teenage Kix member Blarney Cock because he underestimates his powers and punched a hole in his stomach. After Blarney Cock's death, a Hamster wrapped in tape finds his way out of Cock's underwear. Hughie took the Hamster as a pet and a reminder of something else that was wronged by superheroes. ( #6
 
Not knowing of her superhero identity, Hughie is in a romantic relationship with Starlight. Both are unaware of the other's secret life which will undoubtedly cause problems later. Butcher recently learned of Starlight's involvement with Hughie, but has not taken action yet.
 
Despite knowing the necessity of the Boys' actions, Hughie struggles with the violence and brutality they regularly engage in.
